For this iteration of by the hand, ceramic artist Rachel Martin and illustrator Sarah Ettestad have come together to celebrate nature. A dark rich clay was chosen as the base of the plate and the rim was delicately pinched to form a flower petal texture. It depicts the mighty stag beetle showing off its delicate inner wings which are normally protected by its iridescent armor. This piece embodies the duality of strength and fragility.
Rachel is a ceramic artist from the eccentric and vibrant neighborhood of Irvington Indianapolis.
She works out of a community studio on the near eastside that values inclusivity and community.
She primarily creates functional pieces on the the wheel but is exploring non-functional works as well.
Sarah is a 2D artist inspired by the whimsy of nature. She primarily works digitally, but loves the physical interaction of traditional painting. Sarah uses her medium to take pause in life’s rushed journey to appreciate and reflect on new discoveries.
This plate was made as one of the 18 table settings in the Indy Makers Dinner Series, By The Hand. By The Hand combines art, cuisine, and community for a unique dining experience.
